PHILOSOPHY

Since its origin .is a professional discipline with the founding ol the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery in 1840, dentistry has exhibited .1 commitment to
innovation. With continual refinement in clinical procedures and an improved
understanding ol human biology, the profession has been able to improve and
expand us delivery of services. Populations previously underserved — the handi-
capped, medically compromised, hospitalized — not only are being treated but
also are benefitting, as is the general population, from improved materials and
technology.

The Dental Schools programs focus on the three basic aims of the academic
community — teaching, research and service. As a university discipline, dental edu-
cation must meet and surpass its previous accomplishments to ensure the continued
advancement of dentistry. While the process of education must remain anchored
firmly to time-tested principles, it must also continually extend itself in discover-
ing new knowledge and applications, and their use for better oral health care.

THE SCHOOL

HISTORY

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland
at Baltimore has the distinction of being the first dental college in the world. For-
mal education to prepare students for the practice of dentistry originated in 1840
with the establishment of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. The chartering
of the school by the General Assembly of Maryland on February 1, 1840 repre-
sented the culmination of the efforts of Dr. Horace H. Hayden and Dr. Chapin A.
Harris, two physicians who recognized the need for systematic formal education as
the foundation for a scientific and serviceable dental profession. Together they
played major roles in establishing and promoting formal dental education, and in
the development of dentistry as a profession.

Convinced that support for a formal course in dental education would not come
from medical school faculty, Dr. Hayden undertook the establishment of an inde-
pendent dental college. Dr. Harris, an energetic and ambitious young man who had
come to Baltimore in 1830 to study under Dr. Hayden, joined his mentor in the
effort to found the college.

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery soon became a model for other schools
appearing throughout American cities. This was done in no small part to the

General Information 5

Baltimore College of Dental Surgery's emphasis on sound knowledge of general
medicine and development of the skills of dentistry. Through its contributions to
dental and medical progress and through the prominent role of its faculty and grad-
uates in the development of the profession, the Baltimore College of Dental
Surgery has exerted a remarkable influence on professional dentistry.

The present dental school evolved through a series of consolidations involving
the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, founded in 1840; Maryland Dental Col-
lege, founded in 1873; the Dental Department of the University of Maryland,
founded in 1882; and the Dental Department of the Baltimore Medical College,
founded in 1895. The final consolidation took place in 1923, when the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery and the Dental Department of the University of
Maryland were combined to create a distinct college of the university under state
supervision and control. In 1970, the Dental School moved into Hayden-Harris
Hall, then a new five-story building with modern equipment and treatment facili-
ties. In 1990, the school's clinical facilities were renovated to provide a state-of-the-
art environment for teaching and delivery of care.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY

The Dental School today strives to offer the finest programs of dental education in
the world. Continuing efforts are made to provide educational and training expe-
riences consistent with evolving concepts and advances in the delivery of dental
health care.

In addition to the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) program, the school offers
a baccalaureate program in dental hygiene designed to prepare students for careers
in dental hygiene practice, education, management and research in private and
public settings. Programs leading to a graduate degree in oral and craniofacial bio-
logical sciences or oral pathology are also available, including combined
D.D.S. /Ph.D. programs. Graduate programs are designed to prepare students for
careers in academic dentistry or to supplement clinical training with knowledge of
research methods. Research opportunities also may be made available to dental
students.

Advanced dental education programs are offered in the specialty areas of
endodontics, oral-maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, peri-
odontics and prosthodontics. Also offered are a school-based residency program in
advanced general dentistry providing advanced level training in the practice of
comprehensive general dentistry and a hospital-based general practice residency
program through the Dental School and the University of Maryland Medical
System.

Continuing Education programming is developed by academic departments to
meet the needs of health care professionals for refining diagnostic skills and updat-
ing knowledge in technical and scientific areas or practice. In 1983, the Dental
School opened the Center for the Study of Human Performance in Dentistry, a
unique educational, research and treatment complex which provides students and
faculty diverse opportunities for the study, utilization and evaluation of advanced

cue needs of society.

STUDENT BODY

Three hundred ninety-one students were enrolled in the dental program m the
1 l)1)^ 96 academic year. Of these, 46 percent were female; 35 percent were minor-
ity. The first-year class represented a variety of undergraduate institutions across
the country. Students enrolled averaged 25 years of age, had a mean science grade
point average of 3.06 and a mean cumulative grade point average of 3. 1 8. The fac-
ulty presently numbers over 200 persons, including practitioners who teach at the
school part-time.

THE DR. SAMUEL D. HARRIS NATIONAL MUSEUM

OF DENTISTRY

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, established as the world's first school of
dentistry, has kept history alive with its own museum dating from the school's
founding in 1 840. Because of the city's historic connections to dentistry, Baltimore
was selected by the American Academy of the History of Dentistry as the site for
the National Museum of Dentistry. The project was endorsed by the American
Dental Association and supported in part by a $ 1 million gift from retired pediatric
dentist Dr. Samuel D. Harris of Detroit, for whom the independent museum is
named. Following the completion of a national fund-raising campaign, in June
1996, the enlarged museum moved into its newly renovated building, originally
constructed in 1904 as the home of the University of Maryland Dental Depart-
ment.

Among the many intriguing artifacts included in the museum's collection are
George Washington's lower denture and the instruments used to treat Queen
Victoria. Museum visitors experience the days of itinerant dentists on the frontier,
learn the history of the manufacture of toothbrushes, and view the largest existing
collection of posters related to dentistry. Dental professionals, historians, and the
public alike are fascinated by the extensive collection of early dental instruments
and equipment documenting the history of dental treatment. The museum also
contains an important display of chairs and cabinets tracing the evolution of the
dental office.

General Information

The new museum, easily accessible to tourists visiting Baltimore's Inner
Harbor, is designed with lively displays to appeal to people of all ages. At the
National Museum of Dentistry, visitors can learn about the history of oral health
and preventive care, scholars can study the evolution of dentistry, and dentists can
take pride in their profession and its accomplishments. For further information
about the museum, call (410) 706-0600.

SPECIAL LECTURES

The Stephen E. and Jeffrey A. Kleiman Lectures in
Dentistry and Medicine

As a tribute to the selection of careers in the health professions by his sons, Dr.
Bernard S. Kleiman established this annual lecture program to alternate between
the University of Maryland Dental School and the School of Medicine. Distin-
guished individuals are invited to lecture on topics pertinent and applicable to prac-
ticing dentists or physicians. The Kleiman Lecture alternates with the Toomey
Lecture as part of Student-Faculty Day activities.

The William B. and Elizabeth S. Powell Lecture

In 1965 two faithful alumni, Drs. William B. and Elizabeth S. Powell, presented
the school with a generous contribution for the purpose of instituting special lec-
tures for the benefit of the student body and faculty. The first lecture in the series
was presented in April 1966. This lectureship was endowed by the Powells as a
means of continuing to enrich the total academic program.

The Jane Boswell Toomey and Lewis Cole Toomey, D.D.S.
Memorial Lecture

Endowed in 1982 by a major gift from the Toomey family, together with contri-
butions by friends and associates of Dr. and Mrs. Toomey, this biennial lecture was
initiated during the 1985-86 academic year. The Toomey Lecture provides a
forum for distinguished individuals to speak on timely dental research and clinical
topics useful to dental professionals in practice and teaching. The lectures are open
to all members of the dental community.

In addition to these annual lectures, there are three special lectures which are
presented on a rotating basis once every three years as part of the Commence-
ment/Alumni Week activities: The John E. Fogarty Memorial Lecture, sponsored
by the Rhode Island Section of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery Alumni
Association; The Hayden-Harris Memorial Lecture, sponsored by the Alumni
Association; and The J. Ben Robinson Memorial Lecture, sponsored by the
Maryland Section of the American College of Dentists.

APPLICATION/ADMISSION

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE DENTAL
PROGRAM

The Dental School seeks to enroll the highest caliber of students who will become
exemplary health care professionals. Quality is the preeminent criterion in the
recruitment and admissions process. The Dental School has established admission
criteria which permit flexibility in the choice of an undergraduate program while
remaining discriminative with regard to scholastic achievement. Students who are
majoring in either science or non-science disciplines are encouraged to apply. In
addition, those individuals who are interested in changing their careers will be seri-
ously considered in the admissions process, the goal of which is to identify appli-
cants who possess the ability to think critically and who have demonstrated
independence and self-direction.

While the Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions strongly encour-
ages applicants to earn a bachelor's degree prior to dental school matriculation,
applicants who have successfully completed at least three academic years (90 credit
hours) in an accredited university will be considered. The undergraduate curricu-
lum must include, at a minimum, eight semester hours each of general biology,
inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physics, including laboratories. Appli-
cants are expected to achieve superior grades in these prerequisite courses, for these
courses best predict performance in the biological sciences of the dental
curriculum.

Non-science as well as science majors are encouraged to apply. Applicants
should be able to show evidence that they have undertaken a challenging program
in their respective disciplines, supplemented by a broad selection of courses in the
social sciences, humanities and arts. Experience in the development of fine manual
dexterity is strongly recommended. Applicants are expected to have knowledge of
the nature of the profession acquired through observation of dental practice and by
reading appropriate literature. The office of admissions and student affairs reserves
the right to modify the prerequisites when additional courses are necessary to
improve an applicant's preparation for dental school.

No more than 60 of the minimum required credits will be accepted from a
junior college; these credits must have been validated by an accredited college of
arts and sciences. All admission requirements must be completed by June 30 prior
to the desired date of admission. Applicants must also present favorable recom-
mendations from their respective predental committee or, if no such committee is
available, from one instructor each in the departments of biology and chemistry. In

The Dental Program 1 3

all other respects, applicants must give every promise of becoming successful stu-
dents and dentists of high standing. Applicants will not be admitted with unab-
solved conditions or unabsolved failures.

A strong record of academic achievement is essential. The admission decision
will be based upon performance in previous academic programs, the quality of
those programs, and personal factors, as evidenced by letters of recommendation,
extracurricular activities and a personal interview. All applicants should present sci-
ence and cumulative grade point averages (GPA) and Dental Admissions Test
(DAT) scores which exceed the national averages.

All applicants are encouraged to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) no
later than October of the year prior to admission. A pamphlet describing the test
and an application to take the test will be sent to the applicant upon request to the
Dental School's office of admissions and student affairs. The pamphlet lists the
dates of the tests (given in April and October) and the location of testing centers
throughout the United States, its possessions and Canada. The DAT will be used
as an adjunct to the applicant's educational credentials to assess potential
admissibility.

Prior to applying to the Dental School, potential applicants should note the
University of Maryland at Baltimore policy concerning prevention and manage-
ment of student and employee infection with bloodborne pathogens, page 124. In
addition, while the admissions process does not include questions concerning any
prior criminal activity, individuals who may have had a prior or subsequent con-
viction or nolo contendre plea for a felony may encounter denial or removal of
licensure.

RESIDENCY

Information on the regulations for the determination of resident status may be
obtained from the office of records and registration, 621 West Lombard Street,
Room 326, University of Maryland at Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland 21201.

APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES

Students are admitted only at the beginning of the fall semester in August. With
the exception of advanced standing and transfer applications, all applications are
processed through the American Association of Dental Schools Application Service
(AADSAS). An AADSAS application request card is available to applicants after
June 1 of the year prior to the desired date of admission upon request to the office
of admissions and student affairs of the Dental School. The AADSAS application
must be filed by all applicants prior to February 1 5; early filing of the application
is strongly recommended. AADSAS will duplicate the transcript, calculate the
grade point average for each applicant, and furnish pertinent information to the
Dental School.

Baltimore College of Dental Surgery

It the requirements foi admission are luliillcd and preliminar) admission crite
i i.i are met, theapplicam will receive the 1 Cental S< boot's supplemental application
form, which should be completed and mailed with the application fee i<» the
Dental School's office of admissions and student affairs. It receipt ol theapplica
i ion and application fee is not acknov* ledged within 10 days, the applicant should
contact the admissions office. All applicants who are seriously being considered will
be interviewed; .t personal inten iew docs not, however, guarantee admission. I be
c lommittee on Dental Rec ruitment and Admissions, composed ol members of the
(acuity, students and alumni, selects qualified applicants for admission based on the
applicant's academic performance, DAI scores, personal recommendations and
the personal interview. A deposit oi $200 must accompany an applicant's accep
tance of an offer of admission. It will be credited toward the applicant's tuition and
is non-refundable. An additional SI 00 deposit is due by June 1 to confirm intent
to enroll. Admission is contingent upon continued satisfactory academic perfor-
manceand behavior during the period between acceptance and enrollment. Admis-
sion requirements arc subject to change without prior notice.

ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING

Students currently enrolled in dental schools in the United States and graduates of
non-U. S. /Canadian dental schools may apply for admission with advanced stand-
ing. It should be noted, however, that such admissions occur very rarely because of
limited space availability or incompatibility of curricula at different schools. Stu-
dents admitted with advanced standing may be exempted from certain courses by
passing a competency examination. Any person interested in admission with
advanced standing should contact the Dental School's office of admissions and stu-
dent affairs for specific information about requirements and to request an applica-
tion form.

READMISSION TO DENTAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Consequent to dismissal or withdrawal, readmission may be sought by reapplica-
tion to the Dental School. In order to initiate the readmission procedure, the for-
mer student shall submit a detailed letter, with supporting documents, to the office
of admissions and student affairs, requesting readmission to the Dental School.
Students dismissed for violations of the Professional Code of Conduct are ineligi-
ble for readmission, unless substantial evidence of rehabilitation is provided. Deter-
mination of substantial evidence is within the school's sole discretion.

Once the letter of application has been processed by the office of admissions and
student affairs, the Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions, in con-
sultation with the appropriate departments, the advancement committee, and
administrative and nonadministrative faculty members within the Dental School,
may consider the student for readmission. The process of consideration may
include a careful review of the student's academic record, a studv of the reasons for

The Dental Program 1 5

readmission, and assessment of the student's potential for academic progress in the
future. Recommendations relative to the readmission will be referred to the Com-
mittee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions in conjunction with the office of
admissions and student affairs for final decision and notification, including condi-
tions for readmission, where appropriate. Decisions resulting from this policy are
not subject to appeal.

UMES-UMAB HONORS PROGRAM

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), in cooperation with the pro-
fessional schools of the University of Maryland at Baltimore (UMAB), instituted
an Honors Program in an effort to prepare students for professional school study
while providing them with a sound liberal arts education at the same time. The
Honors Program consists of honors sections in chemistry, biology, mathematics,
English and social science. It also emphasizes independent study, seminars and col-
loquia through which students are expected to explore in-depth the various disci-
plines. Specific preprofessional tracks in allied health, dentistry, law, medicine,
nursing, pharmacy and social work are available. Upon successful completion of all
requirements of the Honors Program, which include the professional school admis-
sion requirements, the Honors Program graduate will be admitted into the corre-
sponding professional school on the UMAB campus during the year immediately
following graduation from UMES.

Admission into the Honors Program is determined by the Honors Program
Committee which is composed of representatives from UMES and each profes-
sional school at UMAB. A combination of predictive factors, such as SAT scores,
interviews, letters of recommendation and a personal statement written at the time
of the interview will be used to determine the eligibility of a student for admission
into the Honors Program. The cumulative academic performance of an applicant,
as indicated by the high school record, will be assessed. For additional information,
write to the Honors Committee, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Princess
Anne, Maryland 21853.

COMBINED ARTS AND SCIENCES/DENTAL PROGRAM

Although the Dental School supports a coherent four-year program of undergrad-
uate education for most students, it recognizes that some individuals may be pre-
pared to enter after three years. The University of Maryland College Park,
University of Maryland Baltimore County, Bowie State College, Coppin State
College, Morgan State University and Salisbury State College offer a combined
curriculum leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental
Surgery. The preprofessional part of this curriculum is taken in residence in the col-
lege of arts and sciences on any of the six campuses, and the professional pan at the
Dental School in Baltimore. Students who have been approved for the combined
program and who have completed the arts and sciences phase may, upon the rec-

A - Excellent — This grade signifies performance of the highest quality or excep-
tional achievement. It is recommended that this grade be awarded to those students
with the highest degree of talent, skills and knowledge, compared with the expected
performance of students at that particular stage of development and training.

B - Good — This grade should be recorded for students who have demonstrated
knowledge, talent or skills significantly above the acceptable level, compared with
the expected performance of students at that particular stage of development and
training.

C - Satisfactory — This grade should be recorded for students who have
demonstrated knowledge, talent or skills at an acceptable level, compared with the
expected performance of students at that particular stage of development and
training.

D - Unacceptable — This grade indicates that student performance is deficient
and at a level below what is expected of students at that particular stage of develop-
ment and training. The D grade in basic science courses is not a passing grade. It
must be remediated to C to pass the course. Remediation may require re-examina-
tion or repeat of the course. Students who are provided a re-examination with or
without mentoring would receive the grade D/C; students who repeat the course
would earn the grade achieved in the semester in which the course was repeated.
The D grade is not used by the clinical departments or Preclinical Studies.

E - Conditional Failure — This grade is used as a progress grade or as a tempo-
rary final grade to indicate that a student, who otherwise is progressing satisfacto-
rily in a course, has failed to master limited segments of a course or some clinical
procedures, but may achieve a satisfactory level of proficiency within a short time
if allowed to do so based upon overall academic performance. When the E grade is
used as a temporary final grade, it counts in the grade point average calculation. If
successful remediation occurs, the student will receive the final grade earned in the

The Dental Program

course, shown on the permanent record along with the original E. An unresolved
grade of E will result in a permanent grade of F.

F - Failure — Students who receive this grade exhibit unsatisfactory perfor-
mance. This grade indicates that they have not achieved an acceptable level in skills
and knowledge. As a result, they are not considered ready to advance to more com-
plex work or to perform independently. When the failure has been absolved, the F
grade will remain on the student's permanent record, but only the new grade will
be used in computing the grade point average.

I - Incomplete — A student whose work in completed assignments is of accept-
able quality but, who because of circumstances beyond the student's control (such
as illness or disability), has been unable to complete course requirements, will
receive a grade of Incomplete. When all requirements have been satisfied, the stu-
dent will receive the final grade earned in the course. Except under extraordinary
circumstances, an Incomplete may not be carried into the next academic year.

Scholastic averages are computed on the basis of credits assigned to each course
and the following numerical values for grades: A-4, B-3, C-2, D-l, E-0, F-0. The
grade point average is the sum of the products of course credits and grade values,
divided by the total number of course credits in that year of the curriculum.

The Committee on Predoctoral Advancement and Graduation reviews the per-
formance of each student at the end of each semester. On the basis of progress
and/or final grades, the committee determines one of the following actions for each
student: assignment to a Specially Tailored Education Program (STEP) for first-
and second- year students only; unconditional advancement; conditional advance-

recommends academic dismissal to the Faculty Council, which approves all deci-
sions pertaining to dismissal or graduation. A student may appeal any action of the
advancement committee or the Faculty Council by submission of a written request
to the senior associate dean.

Students must achieve a 2.00 grade point average and passing grades in all
courses in order to advance unconditionally to the next year.

A student may be permitted to absolve deficiencies during the summer session,
as recommended by the advancement committee. Depending on the type of defi-
ciencies involved, students may be required to register and pay a fee for the sum-
mer session. Conditional advancement may be assigned to 1) first- and second- year
students who have not successfully completed remediation of deficient grades dur-
ing the summer session; and 2) third-year students who have not successfully com-
pleted all courses but who, in the judgment of the committee, should be afforded
the opportunity to complete requirements from the third year while proceeding
with fourth-year courses.

Probationary advancement may be assigned to 1 ) first- and second-year students
with less than a 2.00 grade point average; and 2) students with a minimum grade
point average of 2.00 who have received a final grade of F in one or more courses.
Students placed on probation must remediate or repeat all courses in which there
was a deficiency to a passing grade of C, achieve a minimum grade point average of
2.00, and must pass all courses taken during the probationary academic year. Fail-

SPECIALLY TAILORED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

[Tie Specially Tailored Educational Program (STEP) functions within the frame-
work of the regular curriculum but allows students to spend up to three years com-
pleting first- and second-year courses. The program was developed for students
who, because of academic difficulty, illness or other circumstances, need special
assistance and/or additional time to fulfill the academic requirements. It also
accommodates the specific program needs of students transferring from other insti-
tutions and students in combined degree programs.

The Committee on Predoctoral Advancement and Graduation may offer a stu-
dent the option of STEP or assign to STEP any student whose progress is unsatis-
factory if it is generally agreed that a reduced load and/or special tutorial assistance
may improve the student's chance of successfully completing course requirements.
An individualized program is designed for each student who is assigned to STEP,
and the student's progress is carefully monitored. Departmental counselors in the
basic sciences and preclinical sciences are available to assist any student assigned to
STEP.

Students may advance into the regular program when they have demonstrated
satisfactory progress; otherwise they remain in STEP until they have completed all
first- and second-year courses.

THE MINIMESTER

In the January minimester, students in all years of the dental program may choose
to take elective courses when required courses are not scheduled. The clinic con-
tinues to operate on the usual schedule during the minimester. Any credits awarded
for minimester elective courses will not be applied to the D.D.S. degree.

Undergraduate students contemplating a career in dentistry may attend this ses-
sion on a per-course basis. Information concerning course offerings is distributed
to prospective students by the office of admissions and student affairs and to all
enrolled students by the office of academic affairs.

The Dental Program

ATTENDANCE POLICY

The faculty and administration of the Dental School expect every student to attend
all scheduled lectures, seminars, laboratory sessions and clinic assignments, except
in the event of illness or emergency. Course syllabi for each department and the
Clinic Manual address specific departmental and clinical attendance policies and
requirements, and delineate a policy for managing missed examinations, quizzes
and other assignments. Students may lose the opportunity for remediation if they
do not meet published departmental/course standards for attendance.

Students who anticipate that they will be absent for planned events (e.g., reli-
gious holidays) should contact course directors to make arrangements in advance
of the anticipated absence. If prior notice is not possible, contact should be made
at the earliest opportunity. Course directors will determine the impact of the
absence and the subsequent course of action.

Students who miss specific educational activities, including but not limited to
examinations, quizzes and block assignments, must complete an absence form,
including an explanation for the absence. The student's signature on the form ver-
ifies that the explanation provided is accurate. The course director will review the
absence form, make a determination regarding the appropriate course of action,
and sign the absence form. Copies of the form will be provided for the student, the
course director/department, and the office of admissions and student affairs. Stu-
dent appeals of the final disposition must be made within five working days, and
should be forwarded to the office of the assistant dean for admissions and student
affairs for a final disposition.

Students who anticipate a long-term absence (longer than five days) should
directly contact the assistant dean for admissions and student affairs to discuss
strategies for managing the impact of the absence on the educational program.

DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS

CLERKSHIP PROGRAM

Two elective clerkship programs allow selected fourth-year students to pursue fur-
ther studies in departmental activities specially designed to meet their needs and
interests. Students devote a portion of their clinic time to these specialized pro-
grams; the remaining clinic time is spent in the comprehensive treatment of
patients in the regular program. Clerkships are available in basic science and clini-
cal disciplines and several incorporate off-campus clinical experiences in various
practice settings.

CLINICAL DENTISTRY

Stall: All i link .il depai tments

The dink. il education program is designed to provide each student with .1 broad
bac kground of clinical experience based on the philosophy ol prevention and com
prehensive patieni care. Although the need fbi the treatment oi existing disease is
oi paramount importance, the clinical program stresses long term complete dental
care founded on preventing the occurrence ot recurrence ol disease. I ach student
provides patient care in .1 general practice in .1 manner similar to practitioners in the
communit) . ( ainical areas for predoctoral instruction are designated primarily fot
genera] practice teams. Clinical instruction is accomplished using dentist-man
agers, general demists and specialists providing interdepartmental instruction for
the student and the highest level ot dental care for the patient. The clinical program
functions year round in order to provide continuity of patient care.

CLINICAL SIMULATION

Director: Michael M. Belenky
Staff: All departments

The clinical simulation program is a four-year comprehensive program with the
purpose of simulating the delivery of oral health care. It includes three components,
all of which are of equal importance. The first provides the student with an aware-
ness of the optimum utilization of the body in the performance of procedures. The
second component provides the student with the opportunity to apply the concepts
of performance logic in the clinical simulation unit. The third component provides
for the application of skills in the delivery of patient care in the clinic. Working in
instructional settings that replicate the clinical setting, the dental student learns to
deliver high quality care utilizing a process that includes attention to appropriate
control of the operating environment.

CONJOINT SCIENCES

Director: Harold L. Crossley
Staff: All departments

Conjoint Sciences is the administrative unit responsible for the coordination of
subjects which are most appropriately presented in an interdisciplinary format.
Certification for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is required for each year.

In the first year, lectures in Conjoint Sciences introduce the students to the his-
tory of dentistry, the epidemiology of chemical dependency, ethics and geriatric
dentistry.

Human growth and development, immunology, diagnosis and treatment of
pulp and periapical disease, cariology, clinical aspects of head and neck anatomy,
geriatric dentistry and dental anesthesiology are subjects presented in the second

year of Conjoint Sciences. Certification for blood pressure measurement is a
required component of the program in the second year.

The third year of Conjoint Sciences deals primarily with the management of
clinical problems associated with the interdisciplinary topics previously presented.
Topics include dental management of the patient with special needs, therapeutics,
general anesthesia, ethical dilemmas, geriatric dentistry and temporomandibular
dysfunction.

The curriculum in the fourth year includes lectures dealing with medical emer-
gencies in the dental office and a wide range of selective courses.

The student's introduction to endodontics begins in the second year. It consists of
a series of lectures, seminars, laboratories and patient simulations that stress both
the fundamentals and biologic principles of endodontics.

In the third year, lectures are presented which expand upon the basic material
presented in the second year. Cases are treated clinically with the student demon-
strating an acceptable level of competency by the completion of the third year. The
fourth-year experience in endodontics is primarily clinical. Competency in clinical
endodontics with more complex cases is expected of each student. A clerkship pro-
gram in advanced endodontics is available to selected students in their fourth year.

The department conducts research in dental traumatology, dental materials,
endodontic surgery and immunology.

The Department of Oral and Craniofacial Biological Sciences (OCBS) was formed
by the consolidation of the previous departments of anatomy, biochemistry,
microbiology, pharmacology and physiology. The purpose of the consolidation
was to foster the integration of the basic and clinical sciences and to strengthen
research and research training in the Dental School. The three major tracks within
OCBS reflect the composition of the basic science faculty and include cell and mol-
ecular biology, infectious diseases and immune function, and neuroscience. The
primary graduate program of the department is the Ph.D. degree in oral and cran-
iofacial biological sciences. This degree may be completed in one of the three spe-
cialized tracks, and it consists of course work, seminars and research experiences.
The scholarly activities within this Ph.D. program prepare students to become
independent research investigators and competent teachers.

In addition to the Ph.D., the department offers the Master of Science degree.
The M.S. degree is designed to give the student an introductory background in the
foundations of oral and craniofacial biological sciences and experience in conduct-
ing research in this field of study. It is also possible to combine clinical training with
advanced work in the biological sciences. The combined Ph.D. and postgraduate
specialty program in dentistry is designed for students who wish to simultaneously
pursue a clinical specialty coupled with an in-depth research training experience.
The D.D.S./Ph.D. is designed for students who wish to simultaneously pursue
their undergraduate dental education with in-depth research training in specific
biological science disciplines.

The specialization track in cell and molecular biology includes faculty with
training and research experience in physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and
anatomy and provides broad training in a range of molecular and cell biology
research areas including endocrinology, regulation of gene expression and gene
cloning, and sequencing. The infectious disease and immune function track is
designed to give the student a broad base in all the major subdisciplines of micro-
biology/immunology and at the same time allow the student to concentrate on one
specific area of interest or specialization such as oral microbiology, pathogenic

The Dental Program 25

microbiology, immunology, virology, microbial genetics or microbial cytology.
The neuroscience track offers a broad-based training program in integrative neu-
roscience. Faculty have research interests in sensory processes including pain,
touch, proprioception; sensorimotor integration; motor control systems; and
higher cognitive processes. Anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, biochem-
ical and molecular techniques are employed to gain a better understanding of how
the nervous system processes changes in environmental stimuli, and how they affect
behavior.

The department also offers the traditional introductory courses in anatomy, bio-
chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and physiology that are part of the cur-
riculum for dental students and are also core or elective courses for graduate
students. A description of those courses follows:

Anatomy — The basic course in human anatomy is devoted to the study of the
cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body using an interdisciplinary
approach encompassing gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, histology and develop-
mental anatomy. Principles of body structure and function are studied with a par-
ticular emphasis on the head and neck and major organ systems. A strong effort is
made to correlate the anatomy curriculum with other courses in the basic and clin-
ical sciences of the dental curriculum.

Biochemistry — Biochemistry is a study of cellular processes at the molecular
level and the influences of nutrition and pathologies on these processes. The teach-
ing goals of this discipline are: to present a comprehensive course in biochemistry
to the first-year students seeking a professional degree in dentistry and to provide
a program of specialized training for graduate students. The course provided for
dental students covers the major traditional subjects of biochemistry. Dental stu-
dents who have previously taken a course in biochemistry may take a competency
examination which, if passed satisfactorily, permits them to be excused from tak-
ing this course.

Microbiology — The predoctoral program in this section is organized to supply
students with the fundamental principles of microbiology in order that they may
understand the chemical and biological mechanisms of the production of disease
by bacteria and other parasites, and the means by which the host protects itself
against bacteria and related organisms.

Pharmacology — The program of instruction in pharmacology is divided into
three phases. The first phase includes a thorough study of the basic concepts and
principles in pharmacology. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of action,
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs, therapeutic indica-
tions, common adverse reactions and drug interactions. The second phase teaches
oral therapeutics, drug interactions and pain and anxiety control through the par-
ticipation in the conjoint sciences program. The third phase, designed for gradu-
ate and postdoctoral students, provides in-depth coverage of current topics in
analgesia, local and general anesthesia, dental therapeutics and dental toxicology.

Physiology — The basic principles of physiology are stressed in the predoctoral
course to provide students with knowledge of the function of the principal organ
systems of the body. Dental-oriented aspects of physiology are taught through par-

In its teaching, research and service activities, the department of oral health care
delivery continually develops, evaluates and disseminates information and meth-
ods to meet the needs of the providers and recipients of oral health care.

The major areas of teaching responsibility are: (1) behavioral sciences, (2) den-
tal practice administration, (3) dental delivery systems, (4) dental public health, (5)
epidemiology and scientific literature evaluation, (6) geriatric dentistry, (7) special
patient care, (8) community-based oral health care, and (9) the clinical practice of
dentistry utilizing human performance logic and appropriate auxiliary personnel.
During the four-year curriculum, students attend department-sponsored lectures,
seminars, independent and small group projects, community rotations and patient
care clinics.

The core curriculum includes the following topics: first year — oral health care
issues, principles of epidemiology and review of scientific literature; second year —

applied behavioral analysis, communication, patient compliance, stress manage-
ment, dental health education and community service project; third year — com-
puter applications, accounting, finance, economics, law, marketing, taxes, practice
and business planning, and Dental Practice Systems clinic; fourth year — dental
practice administration, Dental Practice Systems clinic, and community-based
geriatric oral health. Lectures on geriatric dentistry occur in all four years of the cur-
riculum in the Conjoint Sciences program. The third- and fourth-year Dental Prac-
tice Systems clinic program demonstrates delivery system alternatives using human
performance-centered ergonomics, behavioral and modern practice administration
concepts. The department supports the dental school's comprehensive care pro-
gram through the clinical and managerial support it provides the general practices.
Additionally, students participate in a variety of volunteer and required commu-
nity experiences during each year of the dental school program.

In addition, lectures on the nature of handicapping and medically compromis-
ing conditions and their effects on the patient are presented in the first three years
of the curriculum. During the third and fourth year of this special patient program,
students are the primary providers for physically disabled and mentally handi-
capped individuals and those with special medical conditions or infectious diseases.
All clinical care is provided in special facilities designed and operated for the deliv-
ery of dental care to handicapped and medically compromised individuals of
all ages.

The department conducts research in dental materials, clinical trials, practice
administration, quality assurance, behavioral sciences, geriatric dentistry, dental
delivery systems and oral health policy,

In the third year, students have didactic exposure to advanced periodontal proce-
dures. Third- and fourth-year students enter into a learning contract that delineates
a set of basic minimum clinical experiences. Interested students have the opportu-
nity to choose from a broad range of additional experiences and to contract for both
additional experiences and the grade the student feels these experiences warrant.
Thus, individual students have substantial involvement in establishing their edu-

The department of restorative dentistry is responsible for major segments of the
curriculum encompassing dental anatomy, occlusion, dental biomaterials, opera-
tive dentistry, and fixed and removable prosthodontics.

The curriculum in the first and second years develops fundamental knowledge
and principles as well as techniques and materials used to restore damaged teeth and
replace missing teeth. The preventive dimension of restorative care and treatment
planning are emphasized as well. During this period, limited but increasing clini-
cal experience, with close faculty supervision, augments and reinforces the didactic
foundation. Instruction includes lectures, seminars, self-instructional programs,
laboratory exercises and clinical simulation.

In the third and fourth years, lectures and seminars support comprehensive clin-
ical treatment of patients requiring restorative dentistry. Occlusion, dental bioma-
terials, advanced concepts in fixed and removable prosthodontics, implants and
esthetic dentistry are covered in seminars and selective courses. Emphasis is placed
on integrating the latest research findings into this curriculum. Clerkships are

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Dental School offers both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree
in dental hygiene. The baccalaureate degree can be earned in one of two educational
programs: the Preprofessional/Professional Program and the Degree Completion
Program. The objective of both baccalaureate programs is to develop in the stu-
dents the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed to assume positions of
responsibility in a variety of health care, educational, research and community set-
tings. In addition, these programs are designed to provide a foundation for gradu-
ate study in dental hygiene or related disciplines. Information about the graduate
program in dental hygiene begins on page 71 of the Advanced Education section.
The dental hygienist, as a member of the oral health care team, strives to improve
oral health by providing preventive and educational services to the public. Clinical
dental hygiene services include assessing patients' general and oral health status,
removing deposits and stains from teeth, taking dental x-rays and applying fluo-
rides and sealants. Educational and management services for individuals and/or
groups may include providing nutritional and oral hygiene counseling; conducting
educational programs; and planning, implementing and evaluating community
oral health programs.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN DENTAL HYGIENE

The majority of dental hygienists are employed in private dental offices. However,
there are increasing opportunities for those with baccalaureate and graduate degrees
in dental hygiene education; community, school and public health programs; pri-
vate and public institutions; armed forces; research; and other special areas of
practice.

Current dental hygiene graduates working full-time can anticipate initial annual
income of approximately $37,000, depending on the area, responsibilities, type of
practice and general economic conditions.

graduation.

TWO- AND THREE-YEAR PROFESSIONAL CURRICULA

TWO-YEAR PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM

The professional curriculum includes clinical and didactic courses in the Dental
School. Throughout these two years, dental hygiene students work concurrently
with dental students to provide patient care.

During the first year, students expand upon their preprofessional basic science
knowledge as it pertains to dental hygiene practice. In both laboratory and clinical
settings the students begin to develop the skills, knowledge and judgment neces-
sary to collect data for patient treatment; assess each patient's oral health status; and
select and provide preventive and educational services, based on the individual
needs of the patient.

During the second year, students demonstrate increasing proficiency and self-
direction in assessing patients' oral health status, planning and providing preven-
tive services and identifying the need for consultation and referral. To enrich their
educational experiences, students provide educational and/or clinical services in'
dental school specialty clinics and a variety of community settings, such as hospi-
tals; schools; and facilities for the handicapped, chronically ill and aged. Dental
hygiene students also have an opportunity to work with dental students as primary
providers for the physically disabled, mentally handicapped and individuals with
serious medical conditions or infectious diseases. Senior students also take courses
in education, research and management which enable them to develop fundamen-
tal skills that are necessary for various career options within the profession.

ENDODONTICS

Objectives

• To provide the endodontic resident with an in-depth background in the basic
sciences as related to the discipline and practice of endodontics.

• To provide the resident with appropriate clinical experiences which will result
in proficiency in the practice of endodontics.

• To develop the skills necessary for the graduate to become competent in the area
of research.

• To inform residents of the necessity and advantages of participation in orga-
nized dentistry.

• To develop the knowledge base for graduates to become diplomates of the
American Board of Endodontics.

• To prepare residents to seek a career in the private practice of endodontics,
research and/or endodontic education.

Scope of Training

The program integrates both biological and clinical sciences. Lectures, seminars
and literature reviews cover diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment objectives
and a variety of topics related to endodontics and to dentistry in general. Students
attend professional meetings and continuing education courses held within the
university and in the Baltimore- Washington area.

The heaviest concentration of basic science material is in the first year of study.
During that year, the student is expected to choose a research topic and to write a
protocol for presentation to the faculty and other graduate students. The results of
this research are presented at a special seminar in the last semester of study and, if
possible, at a national meeting. Interspersed with the basic science courses are a vari-
ety of clinical courses supervised by trained specialists from a variety of back-
grounds.

The second year of study emphasizes clinical endodontics including conven-
tional treatment, retreatment, management of emergencies, endodontics and
surgery. Residents devote a significant amount of time and effort to completion of
their research projects. Also, appropriate time is devoted to clinical teaching dur-
ing this year.

ORAL-MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

Objectives

• [*o prepare individuals fbi a ( areei in die spec ialtyoforal maxillofacial sure

• To fulfill cJiK.iiKMi.il requirements for specialty certification In (In- American
Board of t )ral and Maxillofac ial Surgei \ .

• 1 0 fulfill the requirements for specialty training of the Council on Dental
Education (Commission on Dental Accreditation) of the American Dental
\ssoi iation.

• To fulfill thccduc.ition.il requirements for the M.l). degree and licensure.

Scope of Training

During the first year, students enter residency training in oral-maxillofacial surgery
.it the University of Maryland Medical System and Dental School. Students par-
ticipate in clinical exodontia and other dentoalveolar surgery. They attend patient
rounds, oral pathology and physical assessment course work, surgical-orthodontic
conferences, implant conferences, and are assigned a two-month, off-service rota-
tion with the department of anesthesiology.

During the second and third years of the residency, the oral-maxillofacial
surgery residents will enter the University of Maryland School of Medicine at the
level of the first clinical year. The residents will be undergraduate medical students
for these two years. At the end of the third year of the program the trainees will
graduate with an M.D. degree after they have successfully achieved all medical
school requirements.

In the fourth year of residency, the resident will enter a one-year internship in
general surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. This one-year
period of training will qualify the resident to obtain medical licensure in most
states. During this period of time, the trainee will gain experience in both general
medical management of the surgical patient and in principles of general surgery
with rotations in trauma surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery and surgical inten-
sive care.

The fifth year of the residency program is at University Hospital and the
Dental School. Graduate instruction in head and neck anatomy, advanced oral
pathology, pharmacology, physiology and microbiology is required. Fifth-year res-
idents perform complex ambulatory surgery in the surgery clinic of the Dental
School. In addition, fifth-year residents are introduced to major maxillofacial
surgery procedures in the operating room. Trainees attend all departmental con-
ferences and receive advanced instruction in oral-maxillofacial surgery. Research is
considered an important factor and all trainees are required to participate in a
research project during the fifth year.

The sixth year of residency is at University Hospital, the Maryland Institute for
Emergency Medical Services Systems and affiliated hospitals. The chief residents
are responsible for the direction of the surgical team on their service, and for the
care of hospitalized patients. During this year, residents participate in all confer-
ences held by the department and complete their research projects.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Graduate programs leading to the Mastei of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philos
ophy(Ph.D.) degrees are offered in oral .uKlu.miot.iu.il biological s^ iences and oral
and maxillofacial pathology. A Mastei of Science degree is also offered by the
department of dental hygiene. The Ph.D. may be combined with the D.D.S. or
one of the Advanced Dental Education programs.

A Ph.D. program in oral and craniofacial biology (and accompanying M.S.) per-
mits the student to focus on one of three tracks: 1) craniofacial morphology and
function (functional and developmental morphology of the orofacial region, brain
processes and underlying sensation and motor control); 2) oral molecular, cellular
and systems biology (biochemical, molecular, cellular processes related to cranio-
facial biology); or 3) oral infectious disease (bacterial, viral or fungal diseases of the
orofacial region, and immunology and pathogenetic mechanisms of such infectious
disease).

Programs are also available for those who wish to pursue a graduate degree in
the basic sciences concurrently with clinic specialty education. The combined
degree/specialty training program generally requires three years for the master's
degree and five years for the doctorate. These programs are highly individualized
and are developed according to the candidate's needs.

A Master of Science in Oral Biology program is available for graduate students
who are enrolled in the certificate programs in the Dental School (endodontics,
orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, advanced educa-
tion in general dentistry) or any persons holding a D.D.S., D.M.D. or equivalent
degree. The program is a multidisciplinary one, in that the graduate courses neces-
sary to satisfy the requirements of the University of Maryland Graduate School,
Baltimore for the master's degree are selected from the various departments of the

STUDENT POLICIES

STUDENT JUDICIAL POLICY

Statement of Ethical Principles, Practices, and Behaviors

Listed below are examples of principles and behaviors that the academic commu-
nity of the Dental School, consisting of both faculty and students, considers gen-
erally valid. No such statement can ever be complete, nor can it be construed as a
comprehensive code of professional conduct. Rather, it is intended as a guide to live
by for those who are a part of the academic community.

• Each member of this community is obliged to carry out his or her designated
responsibilities within the rules and governance structure adopted and agreed to
by the community as a whole.

• Faculty and students should be concerned with their own competence and strive
to improve themselves in the integration and transmission of knowledge.

• In contributing to the information base of the sciences, whether verbally or by
written communication, students and faculty should present data, interpreta-
tions of data, and other facets of scholarly discovery with honesty and integrity.

• Professional relations among all members of the community should be marked
by civility. Thus, scholarly contributions should be acknowledged, slanderous
comments and acts should be expunged, and each person should recognize and
facilitate the contributions of others to this community.

• Each member of the community, when acting as an evaluator of any other mem-
ber, should recognize unprofessional personal bias and eliminate its effect on the
evaluation.

• The validity of evaluation shall not be compromised by any departure from the
published and/or generally understood rules of conduct. Thus, all manner of
cheating on examinations or the presentation of work assumed to be one's own
but done by another are unacceptable behaviors.

• An individual may challenge or refuse to comply with a directive whose imple-
mentation would not be in keeping with generally held ethical principles.

• An individual should report his or her limitation of knowledge or experience if
either limitation is likely to compromise an effort or expected result.

• Faculty and students should seek consultation whenever it appears that the qual-
ity of professional service may be enhanced thereby.

• Students should seek consultation and supervision whenever their care of a
patient may be compromised because of lack of knowledge and/or experience.

• Students and faculty must merit the confidence of patients entrusted to their
care, rendering to each a full measure of service and devotion.

• All patients should be treated with dignity and respect.

• An individual or group of individuals should not abuse their power by extend-
ing it beyond its defined or generally accepted limits.

• To the extent practical, sanctions for violations of these principles shall affect
only individuals found to have committed the violations and shall not affect
other persons.

DRESS REGULATIONS

It is important to maintain a favorable and professional image of the Dental School
as a professional health care center. To that end, all levels of employees and students
within the building are expected to dress and maintain a personal cleanliness that
is consistent with a professional patient care oriented atmosphere.

The following regulations apply to all employees and students. These regula-
tions apply in all areas of Hayden-Harris Hall and all affiliated sites during the busi-
ness days when clinics and classes are scheduled:

• Informal attire such as denim jeans are not permitted. Shorts of any type are not
acceptable. Athletic shoes are generally not permitted, except when worn with
scrub attire.

• All students will wear lab coats and clinic jackets provided by the school. Jack-
ets will be worn in all preclinical labs, the Clinical Simulation Unit, and in all
clinical areas. A new clinic jacket will be worn each day; the jacket will be
changed immediately should it become visibly stained or contaminated with
bloodborne pathogens.

• Surgical scrub attire may be worn while students are providing patient care, pro-
vided that a clean white clinic jacket is worn over the scrubs, and the scrubs are
obtained from the Dental School store. Clean white athletic shoes may be worn
with scrub attire. Scrubs may not be worn outside Hayden-Harris Hall, except
when students are going to or from a clinical rotation. Scrub attire may be worn
only if the approved shirt and pants are worn together.

• Men will wear clean, neat slacks and collared shirts. Neckties will be required in
clinical settings. Pre-clinical students will not be required to wear neckties in
nonclinical situations.

• Women will wear clean attire, appropriate for a professional environment. Split
skirts and full- cut dressy shorts are acceptable, provided they are no shorter than
two inches above the knee and are worn with hose or tights. Otherwise, women
are not required to wear hose with slacks or skirts. Open-toe shoes are not per-
mitted.

• Long hair must be pulled back away from the face.

The primary responsibility for complying with and enforcing these regulations
rests with the individual. Individuals in violation of these regulations will be dis-
missed from the laboratory, clinical area and/or lecture room by the supervising fac-
ulty until these regulations have been met. Department chairpersons will ensure
that these guidelines are complied with and enforced.

ity recruitment, tutoring, social and professional programs, and community and
university relations.

The American Association of Dental Research/Student Research Group was
founded in 1987. The objectives of the local chapter are to promote student
research in dentistry and its related disciplines, to promote the advancement of den-
tal research and related aspects, and to further the aims and objectives of the Amer-
ican Association of Dental Research (AADR) and International Association of
Dental Research (IADR) as they relate to student research. Membership is open to

ment of dental education, research and service in all appropriately accredited insti-
tutions that offer programs for dental personnel. The association has three
membership categories: institutional, individual and student. Student members
receive the Journal of Dental Education and the Dental Student News, published by
the association. During the year the local chapter conducts programs to promote
the goals of this organization. Three Dental School student representatives (two
dental and one dental hygiene) are elected to serve on the Council of Students of
the American Association of Dental Schools.

The Gamma Pi Delta Prosthodontic Honorary Society, chartered in 1965,
is an honorary student dental organization with scholarship and interest in the field
of prosthetic dentistry as a basis for admission. The objective of the organization is
the advancement of prosthetic dentistry through lectures, table clinics and other
academic activities which will stimulate the creative interest of students and the
profession in general.

The Gorgas Odontological Honorary Society was organized in 1916 as an
honorary student dental society with scholarship as a basis for admission. The soci-
ety was named after Dr. Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, a pioneer in dental education, a

to provide dental education to the non-English speaking, Korean community and
to help Korean dental students assimilate into the Dental School.

The University Student Government Association is a growing team of pro-
fessional and graduate students dedicated to making UMAB "a more perfect
union." USGA was created to advocate on behalf of all UMAB students.

Professional dental fraternities are Greek letter organizations of men and
women bonded together by ritual. They are specialized fraternities which limit
membership to selected graduates and students enrolled and satisfactorily pursuing
courses in an accredited college of dentistry. They are not honorary fraternities or
recognition societies which confer membership to recognize outstanding scholar-
ship. Their aims are to promote the high ideals and standards of the profession,
advance professional knowledge and welfare of members, and provide a medium
through which members, with a common interest, can develop everlasting friend-
ships. Representative chapters in the Dental School are Alpha Omega, founded in
1907, and Psi Omega, founded in 1892.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

To attend classes students are required to register each term in accordance with cur-
rent registration procedures. Fees are due and payable on the dates specified for reg-
istration. Registration is not completed until all financial obligations are satisfied.
Students who do not complete their registration and pay tuition and all fees will
not be permitted to attend classes. A fee will be charged for late registration.

Although the university regularly mails bills to advance-registered students, it
cannot assume responsibility for their receipt. If any student does not receive a bill
prior to the beginning of a semester in which he/she has advance registered, it is the
student's responsibility to contact the registrar's office or cashier's office during
normal business hours.

All checks and money orders should be made payable to the University of
Maryland for the exact amount of the actual bill.

No diploma, certificate or transcript of record will be issued to a student who
has not made satisfactory settlement of his university account.

DETERMINATION OF IN-STATE STATUS

An initial determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge-differ-
ential purposes will be made by the university at the time a student's application
for admission is under consideration. The determination made at that time, and
any determination made thereafter, shall prevail in each semester until the deter-
mination is successfully challenged.

Students classified as in-state for admission, tuition and charge-differential pur-
poses are responsible for notifying the office of records and registration, in writing,
within 1 5 days of any change in their circumstances which might in any way affect
their classification at UMAB.

The determination of in-state status for admission, tuition and charge-differen-
tial purposes is the responsibility of the campus office of records and registration.
A student may request a reevaluation of this status by filing a petition (available in
room 326 of the Baltimore Student Union). Copies of the university's policy are
available in the admissions office and in the dean's office.

EXPLANATION OF FEES

Campus fees are used to fund activities sponsored by the University Student Gov-
ernment Association, support the cost of the shuttle system (the Caravan) which
transports students to local neighborhoods, meet the costs for various student activ-
ities, student publications and cultural programs within the Dental School, and for
expansion of various campus facilities that are not funded or are funded only in part
from other sources.

The application and/or matriculation fee partially defrays the cost of pro-
cessing applications for admission and enrollment data in the professional schools.
These are not refundable. The application fee will be applied against the matricu-
lation fee for accepted students.

The instrument/ cassette service charge covers the rental of handpieces, instru-
ment cassettes and enhancement instruments.

The dental equipment purchase fee covers the preclinical laboratory charges
for expendable supplies, materials and equipment.

The laundry service charge covers the rental and laundering fee for laboratory
coats.

Student liability (malpractice) insurance is charged all professional school
students. Dental and dental hygiene students in each year of the program are
required to purchase professional liability insurance as a condition for enrollment.
This policy also applies to all advanced dental education students. Predoctoral den-
tal and dental hygiene students obtain insurance coverage through a group program
for a reasonable premium estimated at $75-5150 per year. Information regarding
professional coverage for students is available through the Dental School's office of
clinical affairs.

Matriculation Policies and Procedures 95

Hospitalization insurance is required of all full-time students. A brief outline
of the student hospitalization insurance program is furnished each student. Stu-
dents with equivalent insurance coverage must provide proof of such coverage at
the time of registration and obtain a hospitalization insurance waiver each fall
semester.

Disability insurance is required of all dental and dental hygiene students.

The graduation fee is charged to help defray costs involved with graduation and
commencement.

Fees for auditors are the same as those charged for courses taken for credit at
both the predoctoral and graduate level. Audited credit hours will be added to a stu-
dent's total credit enrollment to determine whether or not a student is full-time or
part-time for tuition and fee assessment purposes.

Special students are assessed tuition and fees in accordance with the schedule for
the comparable predoctoral, graduate or first professional classification.

• A service charge is assessed for dishonored checks and is payable for each check
which is returned unpaid by the drawee bank on initial presentation because of
insufficient funds, payment stopped, postdating or drawn against uncollected
items.

For checks up to $50 S 5

For checks from S50. 01 to SI 00 $10
For checks over $100 S20

• A late registration fee is charged to defray the cost of the special handling
involved for those who do not complete their registration on the prescribed days.

• The university reserves the right to make such changes in fees and other charges
as may be necessary.

Students and alumni may secure transcripts of their UMAB record from the regis-
trar's office. There is no charge for this service. A request for transcripts must be
made in writing and should be made at least five days in advance of the date when
the records are actually needed. Transcripts are issued in turn as requests are
received. No transcript will be furnished to any student or alumnus whose finan-
cial obligations to the university have not been satisfied.

DIPLOMA APPLICATION

Degree requirements vary according to the UMAB school or program in which a
student is registered. However, each degree candidate must file a formal applica-
tion for diploma with the registrar's office at the beginning of the term in which
the student expects to graduate. This must be done by the end of the third week of
the semester or the second week of the summer session.

A student who does not graduate on the originally expected date must reapply
for graduation by the appropriate deadline.

Matriculation Policies and Procedures 97

STUDENT HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

All students are required to have the campus-sponsored student health and hospi-
talization insurance or its equivalent. Detailed information regarding the provi-
sions of the excellent student policy the campus offers may be obtained from
Student and Employee Health. At the time of registration each year, students must
either purchase the student coverage or produce certified proof of equivalent cov-
erage. If proof of comparable insurance is not received at Student and Employee
Health by September 15, the student will be required to pay for the student policy
for that semester.

Students are required to document their immunity to childhood diseases,
including measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. Information regarding spe-
cific requirements will be distributed to each student. Since hepatitis B is an occu-
pational risk for health care providers, all enrolling dental students are also required
to undergo immunization against hepatitis B. Vaccine cost is included in the stu-
dent fees.

Financial Aid

Aid programs are centrally administered by Student Financial Aid, located in the
Baltimore Student Union. The purpose of the program is to help students who oth-
erwise would be financially unable to attend the university. To qualify for aid, the
student must apply annually and meet certain eligibility requirements. Students
should apply in January for the following academic year.

Aid packages often include a combination of loans, grants, scholarships and
work-study designed to meet 100 percent of a student's needs. The student should
call Student Financial Aid, (410) 706-7347, or stop by for fact sheets that contain
detailed information on the application process and types of aid available. The
office is open from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

ture each year allocates to the university funds earmarked for student assistance. As
a result, university grants are available to Maryland residents who demonstrate a
financial need. After careful review of the student's current financial situation,
awards are made on an individual basis.

Policy Statements

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AT BALTIMORE MISSION
STATEMENT

Hie University of Maryland ai Baltimore ( I \1.\B) aspires to advance know I
in health care, law, social welfare and related disciplines through research, teaching
and service; to promote partnerships and develop interdisciplinary/interprores
sional programs that address critical issues in these areas; to assist in the integration

and transfer of new knowledge; and to play a significant role in shaping health can-.
legal and social services for Maryland And the Mid-Atlantic region. I'MAIVs prin-
cipal goal is to become a center of focused excellence in professional, graduate and

continuing education and to promote excellence in research and scholarship, both
basic and applied.

Located in downtown Baltimore, UMAB is the public institution in Maryland
responsible for providing caring and competent professionals in dentistry, law,
medicine, nursing, pharmacy and social work. It also offers combined degree pro-
grams and is developing other interprofessional joint degree programs. Along with
its three major partners (the University of Maryland System, the Baltimore Veter-
ans Affairs Medical Center, and the Medical Biotechnology Center), UMAB is one
of the fastest growing biomedical research centers in the nation and plays an impor-
tant role in strengthening the infrastructure of the regional economy.

As a constituent institution of the University of Maryland System, UMAB prac-
tices affirmative action, cooperates with other educational segments in Maryland,
collaborates with other UMS institutions to provide citizens access to high quality
educational services and serves the educational, economic and cultural needs of
Maryland.

UMAB and UMBC administer the programs of the University of Maryland
Graduate School, Baltimore (UMGSB), one of the UMS' two principal centers for
research and doctoral level training. While specific criteria for achieving excellence
vary from school to school, UMAB expects its faculty to teach, to conduct research,
and to practice their professional skills through clinical service, community inter-
action and scholarship.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The University of Maryland at Baltimore is actively committed to providing equal
educational and employment opportunity in all of its programs. It is the goal of the
university to assure that women and minorities are equitably represented among
the faculty, staff and administration of the university, so that its work force reflects
the diversity of Maryland's population.

Policy Statements 123

All employment policies and activities of the University of Maryland at Balti-
more shall be consistent with federal and state laws, regulations and executive
orders on nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, ancestry or
national origin, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, marital status and veteran status.
Sexual harassment, as a form of sex discrimination, is prohibited among the work
force of the university.

UMAB POLICY CONCERNING PREVENTION

AND MANAGEMENT OF STUDENT AND EMPLOYEE

INFECTION WITH BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS

The Dental School fully subscribes to the University of Maryland at Baltimore Pol-
icy Concerning Prevention and Management of Student and Employee Infection
with Bloodborne Pathogens, which became effective July 1, 1994. All enrolled stu-
dents receive a copy of this policy statement as part of their matriculation docu-
ments. Individuals seriously considering applying to any of the Dental School's
programs should request a copy of the policy from the office of admissions and stu-
dent affairs.

Section 6, Admissions and Hiring Practices, of the policy statement states:
"Inquiries about infection with HBV, HCV or HIV will not be made of prospec-
tive UMAB Personnel. Neither admission nor employment will be denied any oth-
erwise qualified individual on the basis of infection with Bloodborne Pathogens.
However, limitations on the training and professional activities which may result
from infection with Bloodborne Pathogens will be communicated to prospective
students and employees." (See Next section.)

Section 7, Advice on Risks and Limitations, states: "...Applicants who are
infected with Bloodborne Pathogens are not required to identify themselves to
UMAB. Advice to applicants will be provided in a general form available to all
applicants. If infection with a specific Bloodborne Pathogen (e.g., HBV) could pre-
vent a person from completing the curriculum or subsequently practicing the
intended profession as a result of scientifically established contagion risk, this infor-
mation will be included in the general information which the school distributes to
applicants." Although information concerning applicants' status regarding blood-
borne pathogens is not a part of the admissions process, status of infection could
adversely impact individuals' ability to complete their education or their ability to
obtain future professional licensure. Applicants are specifically advised that the
Dental School does not admit individuals who have had prior infection with the
Hepatitis B virus or Hepatitis C virus which has left them chronic carriers of the
virus. These individuals must consider alternative career pathways.

All candidates for enrollment are strongly encouraged to know their status and
to seek professional advice if they have questions. The dean of the Dental School
has appointed an ombudsman or advocate to whom any applicant, student or
employee can go in confidence for advice on policies and procedures related to
infection with bloodborne pathogens and on the implications of testing and dis-

v, don 9« Immunizations Against I IBV, states: 'Students enrolling in si ade
mi< programs that will involve participating in invasive 01 exposure prone pn
dures must be vaccinated against HBV at theit own expense. Students may l><-
vaa inated at Student and Employee I lealth. Those who were immunized priot i<>
enrollment must provide evidence ol immunization to the enrolling u hool.

Doctor of Dental Surgery and Bachelor of Science
in Dental Hygiene Applicants

Although students are strongly encouraged to complete the three-shot I lepati
tis B immunization scries prior to matriculation, entering students who have not
been appropriately immunized against HBV will receive their fust vaccination Jut
ing Dental School orientation through Student and Employee 1 lealth. The second
and third vaccinations will occur at one-month and six-month intervals, res]
tively. Students may not participate in clinical or other activities in which they may
be placed at occupational risk until at least one month after the second in the series
of HBV immunizations. Failure to complete the series in a timely manner could
result in delayed progress through the curriculum or dismissal from enrollment.

Advanced Dental Education Applicants

It is anticipated that most applicants for Advanced Dental Education programs
will have received the full three-shot series of HBV immunizations as pre-doctoral
students. For those individuals who have not completed the HBV immunization
series, Dental School policy requires that all Advanced Dental Education applicants
considering enrollment should begin the three-shot HBV immunization series no
later than May 1 of the year of matriculation. As a condition of enrollment, stu-
dents must provide documentation that they received the first in the series no later
than May 1 and the second no later than June 1. Those individuals may receive
their third immunization through Student and Employee Health at the appropri-
ate time after enrollment at the Dental School.

Treatment Participation Policy

As a part of the educational process, dental and dental hygiene students will he
required from time to time to satisfactorily participate in diagnostic, therapeutic,
and nontherapeutic oral health care services. Each student will be required to par-
ticipate as a caregiver and as the "patient." This requirement is disclosed prior to
admission. By enrolling, each student consents to this requirement. Student
patients may be provided care by any assigned student or faculty member. All per-
sonal health care information provided to the school by a student patient is confi-
dential in nature, will be treated with the confidentiality accorded a patient record
under Maryland health care laws and school policy, and will be used only in con-
nection with delivery of oral health care services. Exceptions to this required par-
ticipation in educational activities may be warranted in extraordinary
circumstances, such as a high risk to the student patient or to the provider associ-
ated with the delivery of treatment. Applicants or students with concerns about

Policy Statements 1 25

such situations should contact the associate dean for clinical affairs, who has the
final authority to determine when exceptions will be granted.

SERVICE TO THOSE WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES

It is the policy of the University of Maryland at Baltimore to provide education and
training to students for the purpose of providing care and service to all persons. The
institution will employ appropriate precautions to protect providers in a manner
meeting the patients' or clients' requirements, yet protecting the interest of students
and faculty participating in the provision of such care or service.

No student will be permitted to refuse to provide care or service to any assigned
person in the absence of special circumstances placing the student at increased risk
for an infectious disease. Any student who refuses to treat or serve an assigned per-
son without prior consent of the school involved will be subject to penalties under
appropriate academic procedures, such penalties to include suspension or dis-
missal.

Policy Statements I 27

REVIEW OF ALLEGED ARBITRARY
AND CAPRICIOUS GRADING

It is the policy of the University of Maryland at Baltimore that students be provided
a mechanism to review course grades that are alleged to be arbitrary or capricious.
Each school/academic unit shall develop guidelines and procedures to provide a
means for a student to seek review of course grades. These guidelines and proce-
dures shall be published regularly in the appropriate media so that all faculty and
students are informed about this policy.

icy of the university (1) to permit students to inspect their education records, (2)
to limit disclosure to others of personally identifiable information from education
records without students' prior written consent and (3) to provide students the
opportunity to seek correction of their education records where appropriate. Each
school shall develop policies to ensure that this policy is implemented.

SCHEDULING OF ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENTS

ON DATES OF RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE

It is the policy of the University of Maryland at Baltimore to excuse the absence(s)

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POSITION ON ACTS
OF VIOLENCE AND EXTREMISM WHICH ARE RACIALLY,
ETHNICALLY, RELIGIOUSLY OR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

I Ik- Board ol Regents strongly condemns criminal .u ts <>i destruction «>i violence
againsi the person 01 propert) ol others. Individuals committing such acts at
campus or facility of the university will be subjec 1 to swifi campus judi< ial and pa
sonnel action, including possible expulsion or termination, as well .is possible state
criminal proceedings.

HUMAN RELATIONS CODE

The University of Maryland at Baltimore has a Human Relations ( ode for use by
the entire campus community. The code represents UMAIVs commitment to
human relations issues. The specific purposes of the code include:

1. Prevention or elimination of unlawful discrimination on the basis ot race, color,
creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ancestry or national origin,
physical or mental handicap, or exercise of rights secured by the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; and

2. Establishing a timely, effective grievance procedure as an alternative to more
lengthy formal processes for resolution of human relations issues.

A Human Relations Committee was created to oversee the code. It is comprised
of campus faculty, administrators and students and is advisory to the president of
the campus. The committee may institute educational programs and provide an
open forum on human relations issues. In addition, the committee is charged with
maintaining a mediation, investigation and hearing process for specific complaints
of discrimination brought by students, faculty or staff. The code describes the par-
ticulars of the hearing process. It is the intent of the code to provide a grievance pro-
cedure for any individual on campus who wants a cross-section of the campus
community to investigate and mediate a problem without having to resort to com-
plaints to external agencies such as the Maryland Commission on Human Rela-
tions, complaints under personnel rules or lawsuits.

Copies of the Human Relations Code are available in the dean's office, the stu-
dent affairs and USGA offices in the Baltimore Student Union, and the human
resources management and affirmative action offices in the administration
building.

POLICY AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF STUDENTS

Policy

UMAB prohibits sexual harassment of students by colleagues or faculty. Sexual
harassment is an infringement of an individual's right to work and study in an envi-

can result in a significant human resource drain for UMAB and hinder the scholas-
tic efforts of students.

Definition of Sexual Harassment

UMAB has adopted the definition of sexual harassment used by the United States
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Unwelcome sexual advances,
unwelcome requests for sexual favors, and other behavior of a sexual nature consti-
tute sexual harassment when:

A. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the
basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or

B. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the
basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or

C. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individual's academic or work performance, or of creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive educational or working environment.

Examples of Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment can include any or all of the following behaviors, as well as oth-
ers which are not listed:

• Harassment through public or private insult, sexually suggestive comments con-
cerning a person's body or behavior, and sexual demands.

• Subtle or overt pressure to comply with demands of sexual activity.

• Sexist remarks about another person's clothing, body, sexual activities, sexual
preferences, or sexual orientation, as well as teasing, jokes, remarks or gestures
which are sexual in nature.

• Unnecessary touching, pinching, patting or exposure of another person's body.

• Unwarranted staring at another person's body.

• Unwanted communications of a sexual nature in writing, by telephone, or by
other means.

• Requests or demands for sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt threats
about job, grades, clinical assignments, class academic assignments, recommen-
dations, etc.

• Repetition of unwanted invitations for dates with faculty or colleagues.

• Physical assault of a sexual nature, up to and including attempted or actual rape.

Students' Remedies

Sexual harassment of students by students, faculty or staff will not be tolerated.
Proven harassment will result in disciplinary action, possibly including suspension
or expulsion.

Student questions about peer or faculty behavior that may constitute sexual
harassment and student questions about disciplinary policies should be directed to
the assistant vice president for student affairs, at 706-71 17, to the campus director
of affirmative action at 706-7302, or to the student affairs dean of the school
involved.

A complaint of sexual harassment may be made initially to a school's dean, the
appropriate disciplinary body of the school, or the assistant vice president for stu-
dent affairs.

icy on sexual assault, consistent with the requirements of (i) Section 484 (0 of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 486 (c) (2) of the \ ligher
Education Amendments of 1992, and (ii) Section 1 1-701 of the Education Article
of the Annotated Code of Maryland. This policy applies to all students and em ploy-
ees, both faculty and nonfaculty, of the University of Maryland System or its con-
stituent institutions.

II. Definitions

The following policy recognizes two levels of sexual assault.

Sexual Assault I.

the victim's mental or physical helplessness of which the accused was aware or
should have been aware.

Sexual Assault II.

By stranger or acquaintance, the touch of an unwilling person's intimate parts
(defined as genitalia, groin, breast, or buttocks, or clothing covering them) or forc-
ing an unwilling person to touch another's intimate parts. These acts must be com-

ing on the topic of sexual assault and the provisions of sexual assault procedures to

sexual assault, shall be distributed to all students, faculty members and employees
and shall be posted in appropriate locations at the institution and published in
appropriate institution and system publications.

V. Off-Campus Reporting of Sexual Assaults

When a report of sexual assault is made to the institution's initial contact, that per-

sonnel as soon as possible following the incident to receive guidance in the
preservation of evidence needed for proof of criminal assaults and the apprehen-
sion and prosecution of assailants. Campus authorities will assist in notification of
off-campus authorities at the request of the alleged victim. Additionally, campus
personnel retain the right to contact law enforcement personnel directly where an
issue of campus security is involved. Campus personnel will also assist the alleged
victim in obtaining medical attention, if the victim chooses, including providing
transportation to the hospital or other emergency medical facility. Each institution
